Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 cup canned unsalted diced tomatoes
1 medium white onion, quartered
2 cloves garlic
1/2 chipotle in adobo sauce, plus 1 tablespoon of the sauce
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large pork tenderloin, trimmed and cut into 1-inch chunks (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chili powder
One 8-ounce sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch chunks
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 tablespoon pickled jalapenos
1 cup 2 percent Greek yogurt
1/4 medium head red cabbage
1 medium Haas avocado
1 lime
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh cilantro
Eight 6-inch corn tortillas, warmed

Steps:

  • Puree the tomatoes, onions, garlic, chipotle and adobo sauce in a food processor until completely smooth.
  • Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven or pot over medium-high heat until nearly smoking. Add the pork in a single layer, season with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper and cook, undisturbed, until beginning to brown, about 2 minutes. Turn the pieces and cook until brown, about 1 minute more. Dust the meat with the chili powder, and add the tomato puree, sweet potatoes, chicken broth, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to medium, cover and gently simmer until the meat is cooked through and the potatoes are tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, prepare the toppings: Chop the jalapenos, and whisk together with the yogurt in a small bowl. Shred the cabbage, cut the avocado into chunks and cut the lime into wedges.
  • Ladle the stew into large, deep bowls. Top with the yogurt mixture, garnish with the cabbage, avocado, lime and cilantro and serve with the tortillas.

CUBAN ROASTED PORK TENDERLOIN WITH ROASTED SWEET POTATOES RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Cuban Roasted Pork Tenderloin with Roasted Sweet Potatoes Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by Foodiewife

Number Of Ingredients 17

PORK MASH:
2 cloves garlic, smashed
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoon brown sugar
1 tablespoon light rum (optional)
Zest of 1 orange, minced
1/2 teaspoon each ground cumin and coriander
1 pork tenderloin (1 1/4-pounds) trimmed and seasoned with salt & black pepper
VEGETABLES
2 tablespoon olive oil, divided
1 tablespoon each light rum and fresh orange juice
1/2 teaspoon each salt, pepper and cumin
1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled and evenly cubed (about 2 large sweet potatoes)
1 large red onion, halved and each half cut into 6 wedges
NOTE: Don't cut the potatoes too large, because they will have a short roasting time
Fresh cilantro, chopped, optional garnish
Fresh lime wedges, optional garnish

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 475°F. You will need an oven-proof skillet; I use my cast-iron skillet Pork: Mash garlic with 1/4 teaspoon salt to a paste. Add brown sugar, 1 tablespoon rum, zest, and 1/2 teaspoon each cumin and coriander; rub into pork. Vegetables: Combine 1 tablespoon oil, the rum and orange juice and toss with the salt, pepper and cumin. Toss with the sweet potatoes and onion. Set aside. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in a 10-inch cast iron skillet (if you don't own one, use a heavy bottomed oven proof skillet) over medium high. Sear pork on one side until browned. Flip the pork and arrange the sweet potatoes and onion around it. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook until an instant read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the pork registers 145F-150°F and sweet potatoes are fork-tender, 12 to 15 minutes. If desired, garnish the vegetables with some fresh cilantro. Let pork rest, then slice and serve. Tasting notes: I drizzled a little extra olive oil to the sweet potatoes in the last five minutes of roasting time, as they looked a bit dry. I also tossed them, a bit, for more even roasting. I added a squeeze of fresh lime to the pork, which added a little extra "zip" and some more Cuban flavors.
